the events of this day reverberate across the globe. the
repercussions echo.

there is an opportunity for us to respond to what has transpired this
day. and there is an opportunity for us to see these events in a
light that reflects the larger scheme of what is unfolding on the
planet in these transformational times. there is an opportunity for
us to awaken from our slumber. and as we awaken, we may begin to
remember what is true.

consider that the material world, all that is temporal, corporeal, all
that has form, all matter that exists in this physical plane is
transitory. it is in a constant state of flux. everything that is in
this material dimension is illusory, it is maya, because it is subject
to being created or born, to growing, living, then fading, being
destroyed or dying. all in the illusion is limited, it is finite.
but that which is transcendent of the illusion of the material plane,
that which is behind and beyond the finite, temporal realm of
materiality, that which is real and true, is eternal. it is infinite
and it is enduring, for it is divine. that which is of the divine
kingdom, the limitless realm of spirit, that which is real, cannot be
destroyed. it is not subject to the risings and fallings of
materiality. it does not die.

humanity finds itself incarnated into physical bodies, thrust into the
realm of the maya, enshrouded behind the veil and immersed into the
illusions born of matter, space and time. we become subject to the
dualities inherent in this illusory realm as we experience the
chiaroscuro of the polarities of birth and death, shadow and light.
as we dwell in this plane, we fall asleep in matter. we forget. we
see ourselves as being separate, because we seem to be encased within
bodies which delineate boundaries between us and the rest of the
universe. we begin to i-dentify with these bodies and with the
material world. because we feel separate, we reach outward, in order
to form attachments to that from which we appear to have been
separated. it is through our grasping that we seek to draw unto
ourselves that with which we desire to reconnect. we form energetic
patterns of perpetually taking for the self, because our orientation
comes from a place of i-ness in our apparent separate nature. but
what we have forgotten as we have fallen asleep is that we are already
connected. we have always been connected, through a spark that lives
within the vessel of our hearts, to the divine kingdom, to that which
is real and true, to that which is transcendent of this illusory
realm. as we grasp through our attachments to hold to ourselves that
which is material, that which is temporal, transitory and unreal, we
only serve to entangle ourselves further into maya. we feed into the
illusory notion that we must take for and hold to ourselves that which
we desire. the further we become enmeshed into the illusion, the more
challenging it becomes to detach from it.

when we perpetually take for self, this precludes the opportunity for
selfless giving. only when we begin to realize and remember this, may
we begin to release our grip on what we desire so that we may instead
share, by letting go and giving away, the only thing that is real?the
spark of divine love that lives within our hearts.

humanity, at this stage in its evolution, is being given an
unprecedented opportunity to awaken from its slumber of forgetting.
our human bodies, as well as the body of the earth are the staging
ground for a phenomenal transformation that is now unfolding. in
order to facilitate this shift-from the dense vibration of this
separatist, selfish, grasping i-dentification with materiality and
illusion, to the transcendent vibration of unity, connectedness,
selfless giving, truth and divinity-we must endure the fire as we
enter into the alchemical process of transmutation through the
crucible of our human existence.

the flames of transmutational fire burn away all dross. they remove
all that is impure, and destroy all that is destroyable, all that is
not real, true or divine. to those who are deeply entrenched in the
maya, to those who are over i-dentified with i-ness and a need to
selfishly attach themselves by grasping onto that which they desire
within the illusion of materiality, this fire will appear to destroy
that which they have held dear, that which has seemed real and true to
them. but the deeper truth is that nothing real can ever be
destroyed, for nothing true and eternal ever dies.

from the ashes of this fire, all that will be left will be that which
has always existed, that which is eternal, infinite, and divine. from
the ashes of transmutational fire, like a phoenix, will rise the
hearts of those who have looked beyond the graspings, and attachments
that the illusory "i" desires for its own self. these hearts, who
have looked steadily past the glamours and illusions of the material
realm and who have kept their gaze upon the divinity that endures
behind the veil, will join together as they share the glory that will
be known when all that is undivine, untrue and unreal has been burned
away to reveal the pure, eternal oness of spirit.

the world may cling, the world may grasp. humanity may anguish over
that which appears to have been destroyed. but these are the testing
times. those who release their grasping hold upon what has, within
the illusion, appeared to be real and true; those who look past the
illusion and beyond the veil toward divinity and what is real and
true, may begin to trust and to know that the time has come for the
incineration and demolition of all illusory appearances which obscure
the divine light of the one eternal source.
